Best Friends and Biggest Rival (Let's Name them) 

Post#1 » by JordansBulls » Mon Mar 17, 2008 5:11 pm

Here is a new idea. Not sure how many would know any of these, but I figure it would an interesting thread.

For instance, I ask a question regarding who is a certain players best friend and biggest rival and then someone answers and then the next poster names a superstar and we have to guess who their best friend and biggest rival was.


I'll start with a list of 3 names just to get it going.

1.) Who was Michael Jordan's best friend and who was his biggest rival?

2.) Who was Wilt Chamberlain's best friend and who was his biggest rival?

3.) Who was Magic's Johnson's best friend and who was his biggest rival?


NOTE: Let's only use Superstar/Allstar players

1. Charles Barkley / Isiah Thomas

2. Bill Russell / Bill Russell

3. Isiah Thomas / Larry Bird


Those would be my best guesses

Howard's best friend is Josh Smith or Javaris Crittenton, Bosh is definitely his biggest rival.

How is Bruce Bowen not considered Lebron's rival and I dont want to hear all the BS that they arent in the same conference?

NM, rivals aren't one sided is/was.
